Welcome

A warm welcome to St Mark’s Wyke-

The Parish Church of Normandy village.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR
VICAR.....

Dear Friends

As of 24th March 2020,
all Church of England church buildings are closed in order to help limit the
transmission of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). So our own church building of St
Mark’s is shut for both public worship and private prayer until further notice.
It is difficult and sad to have our church locked, yet we recognise the closure
as a necessary step.

If you are walking
past the church and through the peaceful churchyard on your daily exercise
route, we encourage you to offer prayers for yourself, for others and for the
world as you pass by. If you are unable to get out, perhaps pray with a picture
of the church in your mind.

*Our Government and nation, for each
other, for our village community and especially for those who work in our
health and emergency services.

*Our local surgeries and staff at
Normandy and Fairlands and at Ash Vale.

*Wyke School staff and children and for
St. Mark's Pre-school. For all parents and carers.

*All key workers and volunteers on the
front line.

*The vulnerable.

*God’s help to be a good Samaritan to
those around us.

God of compassion,
be close to those who are ill, afraid or in isolation.
In their loneliness, be their consolation;
in their anxiety, be their hope;
in their darkness, be their light;
through him who suffered alone on the cross,
but reigns with you in glory,
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

With every blessing

Revd Alison.

Church services across the Church of England are suspended until further notice. Sadly there are no Sunday or midweek church services here at St Mark’s.
